I don't care for it, so I'm probably going to have a nice Fume Blanc with my Asian-based food.
But, if you do like bubbly, I recommend trying some from New Mexico. Yup, support the good ol' USA economy - plus, it's quite good. Or, Cava from Spain is also quite good.
What are y'all drinking (non-alcohol included) ?
As a New Mexican, I can DEFINITELY recommend Gruet "champagne." Even better than that, I HIGHLY recommend St Clair's DH Lescombes Imperial Kir, made with champagne and raspberry liqueur. They also have Royal Kir - champagne and currant liqueur. Both are good but the Imperial Kir is better. It's YUMMY. I cannot say enough about it. It's what we'll be celebrating with tomorrow night!
Lastly, Wines of the San Juans has some fantastic wines. "Girls Are Meaner," Malvasia and Pale Morning Dun are really good.
